The original school building was completed in 1915 before the school year. It burned down several years later. A new school was built on the site after the fire which is now home to Carter Middle School. In 1976 the current Payton complex was built. It consists of three buildings; the Katelyn building which houses the Main Office, classrooms and cafeteria; an arts building which has the auditorium and gym as well as two art rooms, a band room and choir room; the vocational education building which shop classes as well as the Freshman Academy. In between the main building and vocational building is a portable which houses two classrooms.[ citation needed ]

At the back of the school is a quarter-mile running track and a field in the middle used for band practices and football practice. Across Carter School Road is the Carter Football Field which is used for CHS home football games during the fall as well as home soccer games for both girls and boys teams. The baseball and softball facilities are located just west on Asheville Highway at Carter Park, owned by Knox County. The gym, connected to the arts building, plays host to basketball and volleyball.[ citation needed ]
